Cattle raising on the big ranches of the
West was once an enormously profitable
business; but it begins to look as though
its glories had departed. OF nine English
and Scotch companies-the names of
which are given-but two declared any
dividend last year. and these declared but
five and four per cent respectively. The
sales of the nine companies in 1886 were
but 1874 compared with so ,426 in 1885.

--Iu Portsmouth, n. H., seven weeks ago,
burglars raided eighteen stores on two
principal streets in the city. There was
great public clamor at the time against
the police, who were accused of gross neg
lect of duty. The excitement had hardly
guieted when, on Sunday night, several
more stores were broken into and no clew
has been obtained of the guilty ones. The
citizens of Portsmouth are reported to be

of their 'model police"

that it will open the way to the presi-
dency or the chief iusticeship of the Su-
preme Court. There is no law written or
unwritten, that forbids mans aspiring
to any position in the gift of the people,
but we do not believe that Judge Cooley
accepted the commssionership with any
idea that it could make a stepping stone
to the presidency. lie accepted it no
doubt because it is high position and a
responsible one, and because he believes
that he can do good public service in it.

Thirty years ago, when Marlborough
House had not as yet become the abode
Of our heir apparent Tor, as Mr.. Bur-
nand called him at the newspaper press
fund dinner last week, our visible prince,
it was used for a somewhat curious kind
of exhibition. Its chief rooms were filled
with a collection of articles then in every
day use, which had been gathered in
order to show how utterly ugly and false
to the true principles of art were most of
the common objects of the domestic life
of the period. There were samples of
those terribly gorgeous carpets we then
affected, covered with cabbage like red
roses and other Brobdingnaggian floral
specimens. There were specimens, too,
of the tiger hearth rugs then so common,
and of the crudely colored wall papers of
the day, together with a number of the
hideously shaped jugs and tasteless crock
cry ware in use. The exhibition was, in
short, veritable collection of horrors,
though it is satisfactory to know that the
improvement in all directions has been
most unmistahable since it took place

think no American can listen to
many courses of lectures in a German
university without becoming convinced
of the superiority of the better class of
American college professors in the art of
instruction. Except in the occasional in
terviews of the seminar, the German
professor has none of that training which
comes from meeting the intelligent
questions of a clever class. An Amer
lean professor learns in the course of a
few years experience to feel the pulse of
his class, aS-it We're. and to know in an
instant whether he has made himself
understood. Many of the most famous
German professors, on the other hand,
elaborate with tedious detail the simplest
matters, and sometimes merely hint at
the explanation of real difficulties. They
are for the most part closely confined in
their lectures to what they have care
fully prepared beforehand, and any
occasion to think or to answer on the
spur of the moment is pretty sure to
throw them into confusion. With some
brilliant exceptions, remarkable for their
clearness. SYSTEMATIC arrangement, and
beauty 5uage, they pay no atten-
ton to IL ri of putting things, their
style fire.. ~-Atiy being eXecrable. Morris

There was a man.
And he lad horse and wagon.
And he went about the streets selling
Strawberries.
And he yelled "Straw-buries, Straw
buries!' at the top of his voice.
The sick groaned in despair.
The well gritted their teeth with indig-
nation.
And the police couldn't stop him.
But one day providence picked him up
with a congestive chill and sent him
home to die, and he expired in agony.
He was buried in cheap coffin, in
cheap lot, and six weeks later his widow
was married to a tinker.
And there was another man, and he
also sold Strawberries. Instead of roar
ing Straw buries.' from down in his
boots he drove about at a gentle pace,
knocked softly at every back door, and
as the girl appeared he quietly remarked:
"Please ask the lady of the house if she
will buy fresh strawberries at eight
cents a quartz
And his ways were taking, and his
berries went as fast as he could load
up, and syndicate of millionaires took
hold of him and made him president Of
a national bank, with salary of $10,-
900 per year. For other particulars see
later editions. Detroit Free Press.

The switchmen in the Denver and Rio

A MORAL FOR HENRY GEORGE.

Louis Masquerier, s. years old, who
dedicated his own monument in Cypress
Hill cemetery last sunday, was the cam
didate of a land reform party for COVER
nor of New York II years ago. His
name was nearly as well known then as
the name of Henry George is known to-
dav. He wrote books to show that the
times were out of Joint and had a news
paper organ Just like George. His idea
was not common ownership of land, but
a change of occupancy. The whole uni
verse was to be divided geometrcally in
to cities. towns and farms. Masquerier
was as confident and earnest about his
scheme as George is. lie also took up
the matter of language and invented
brand new phonetic alphabet, which was
to perfect and simplify the English lam
guage. The monument which he dedi-
Gated Sunday is almost completely COW
cred with inscriptions giving the whole
history of this remarkably crank. There
is geometrical plan showing his idea of
how the world should be cut up into
strips and sections. The characters of
his phonetic alphabet are given and the
monument is crowned by miniature copy
of the Bartholdi statue, with Liberty
holding a globe in her hand instead of a
torch Masquerier had invited Gen. John
C. Fremont, Ingersoll Henry George and
DIR. McGlynn to help him dedicate the
monument, but they did not appear, and
he had TO do the honors all himself. And
the moral of all this is-but perhaps
Henry George, who has lively fancy,
will look forward half a century and
draw the PARALLEL Springfield Repub-
linap

BASEBALL.

The St Louis Browns expect to clear s40-
600 this season.
The salary list of the Boston club is a little
less than SO, 900.
Boyle may be said to be the only pitcher in
the indianapolis team, at least he is the only
one who works for the clubs success.
Ward, of the New orks, has the greatest
record of consecutive hitting of any league
player. In every one of twenty three con-
secutive games lie made at least one clean hit.
OF Chicagos old standbys, Corcoran and
Goldsmith, the former has been a failure this
season III every club that tried him, while
Goldsmith has entered the International
league but is doubtful if be will amount to
anything.
If tue reports from Baltimore and few
other places speak correctly WEIGH, of the
St Louis Browns, should he hooted from the
field; but if St Louis opinion be taken as u
criterion the center fielder is worthy of canon
ization to say the least
When Mike Kelly made his first appear
ance this season i'll Chicago he was serenaded
with such songs as Yankee Doodle" Hail
Columbia" Put the Baby to Sleep" etc. 1t
is said that the songs We're intended for James
Russell Lowell when he was in the Windy
City some months since, but missed connec-
ton and We're saved for the next visiting
celebrity.
The failure of many of the young pitchers
is due to the fact that they were out Of their
element. AS soon as they got back to the
third or fourth class clubs, whence they came,
they resumed their effectiveness. In several
years, perhaps, Baldwin, Pyle, George Roach
and tue rest viii be first class players. Now
they are exploded phenomenons,' of whom
too much was expected.

On a British Mau-of-War.

And with regard to this going to quar-
tiers and clearing for action, it may not
here be out of place to note that while in
the old ships the partitions and wooden
screens were all hooked up and got out of
the way in preparation for battle, so that
the decks were clear, in these days when
''quarters for action is sounded the iron
doors are closed, the ship cut up into as
many segments as possible, and the crew
inclosed in compartments into which the
captains commands come by voice tube
The crew is, as it were, a regiment, with
the ieutenants in charge of the compa-
MES, each with his own division of men
and his own subordinate officers RESPONSE
BILE for certain part of the ship. To the
lieutenant go the commanding officers
orders, and he communicates to his subal-
terms and petty officers, as the soldier cap
tain does to his subalterns and non-com-
missioned officers.-New York Graphic.
